Bohemian Kings X Swan song - Tap gallery

Synopsis
2004 was the last kings cross festival organised by the Kings Cross Arts Guild.
I was lucky enough to interview the famous bohemian artists still alive at that time since then over half of these interviewees have passed.
This 30 minute documentary is a testament to their work and their place in the history of Kings Cross Bohemian Artists.
It holds space for them and their view on the gentrification of Kings Cross during the laying of the plaques.
Please see the credits for the list of artists interviewed and their late artist friends of this magical time in the under mentioned Kings Cross ArtHistory between 1970-90 and onwards

Fear of Romance – Joseph Earp

“Fear of Romance is an exhibition of paintings by Joseph Earp.  At Tap Gallery, upstairs at 259 Riley St. Surry Hills, Sydney. Open every day 12-6 from Tues August 29 to Sat 3 September.
Joseph Earp is an acclaimed author, painter and poet, whose written work has been published in The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald and more. Fear of Romance is an exhibition of the paintings on which he has forged his name — works that combine dark humour, poetry, and heart. Drawing on influences as varied as David Hockney, Paula Rego and the poet Frank O’Hara, Earp’s work blends text and image into sometimes horrifying, often humane visual experiences.”

Artist Statement

As an artist I believe that Art is not just a drawing or visual representation for me but rather beyond that. It has been a key tool and process of discovering myself. It is my visual diary wherein I note and express my explorations. Though my journey began 24 years ago with expressing objects and experiences of my external world, it soon turned into a Self-discovery process. For me, Art is that eminent medium that helps me discover my core soul aspects like sex and spirituality. This accelerated and graduated my curiosity in key areas of Self, and thus, Sex and Spirituality became my subject of exploration which I try to represent visually through my art.
